Denied
The Board denied service connection for hepatocellular carcinoma as the evidence did not support a link to in-service exposure or injury.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not persuasively weigh in favor of finding that the Veteran's hepatocellular carcinoma began during active service or is otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease, including exposure to herbicide agent, solvents, or other toxins during active duty service.
